Muskegon Lumberjacks release 2014-15 regular-season schedule

The Muskegon Lumberjacks and the United States Hockey League officially released their regular-season schedule for the 2014-15 season on Tuesday.

Each team will play a 60-game regular season, which kicks off with the Lumberjacks traveling to Ann Arbor to face the Team USA U-17 team on Friday, Sept. 26.

The home opener is the following night, Sept. 27 against the newly minted Madison Capitols.

The unbalanced scheduled feature 44 of 60 games against Eastern Conference foes, including eight against Team USA and six against the other teams in the conference – Youngstown, Chicago, Bloomington (another newcomer) and Madison.

Like the previous season, Muskegon squares off against each Western Conference team twice featuring a pair of home contests against Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and Fargo followed by playing twice on the road against Sioux City, Tri-City, Omaha, and Lincoln. The Lumberjacks will play a home-and-home series against only one team out of the West in Waterloo.
